I have a custom background on my slides and I don't really want the 10px margin around it that displays in the standard interface. How can I get rid of the white margin so that my side take up the entire area?
This may have been answered already but I haven't found anything in the forums.
Hi Joseph - do you mean the border around the perimeter of the slide (shown in purple in the screenshot below)? If so, there isn't a feature within Presenter to remove that, but you can change its color so that it blends better with your course content. You can edit your player colors, and customize the Slide background parameter to something other than white, so that it looks better with your slides.
Another option, if you only have one or a few slides where the border is a concern, is to create a separate SWF of the slide content (by publishing it from a different file and then grabbing the slide's swf file that Presenter generates) and insert that onto your course slide instead. When you insert it, you can make it slightly larger than the actual slide stage, and the result will be that it essentially covers up the white border. Mike Highfield shows how to do this in this screenr. It's a clever idea, but would get labor-intensive pretty fast if you had to do it for more than just one or two slides.
Thank you Jeanette, that definitely answers my question. I have a fairly large project so I'll be sticking with the first method unless I have some extra time on my hands.
